Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Renal Support A is a highly palatable dry cat food that's specially formulated to care for the kidney health of adult cats under veterinary supervision. “A” stands for Aromatic, and this formula can help stimulate your cat’s appetite. The round-shaped dry kibble can be mixed with other Royal Canin Renal Support formulas, which have a variety of palatable aromas and dry or wet forms to help find the right combination to get your cat eating again. The energy-dense diet provides nutritional support in smaller portions, since cats with kidney challenges have decreased appetites. Plus, it contains a precise antioxidant complex, fatty acids from fish oil, low phosphorus, and targeted protein levels to help support kidney function.
Key Benefits- A veterinary-exclusive dry cat food for adult cats to support kidney health.
- A = Aromatic to help stimulate appetite in cats and encourage eating with round-shaped kibble.
- Helps compensate for decreased appetite with a highly palatable energy-dense formula to reduce meal volume.
- Helps promote kidney function with a precise antioxidant complex, fatty acids from fish oil, low phosphorus, and targeted protein levels.
- Works in conjunction with a variety of appetite-stimulating Royal Canin Renal Support Wet and Dry Cat Food varieties.

Pets can be sensitive to sudden changes in their diets. For this reason, it is extremely important to follow a gradual transition plan to best support your pet's health and product effectiveness. It is recommended to follow at least a 7-day transition plan before exclusively feeding your pet a new food. Cats will often refuse mixed diets, so we recommend adding the new food to a separate bowl from the old food. Start by mixing 75% of your pet's current diet with 25% of the new diet on Day 1 and Day 2. On Day 3 and Day 4, mix 50% of the current diet with 50% of the new diet. On Day 5 and Day 6, mix 25% of the current diet with 75% of the new diet. On Day 7, you can feed your pet the new food exclusively. Ask your Veterinarian about the best way to transition your pet to a new food.
| Transition Day | Current Diet | New Diet |
|---|---|---|
| Days 1-2 | 75% | 25% |
| Days 3-4 | 50% | 50% |
| Days 5-6 | 25% | 75% |
| Day 7 | 0% | 100% |

Prince says it is better than the other Brand
By najla2 on Nov 16, 2021
All of a sudden Prince became a picky eater. He was on regular canned food and had preveiously eaten anything. Soon after the Vet recommended a Kidney support diet. I tried 2 different and he was not having it. By this time had lost 2 pounds.(over a year's time) Well a neighbor gave me another Kidney diet AND the Renal support to try. Both seemed Palatable to him but he Chose Royal Canin A. He is eating well and after 2 months gained back over 1/2 pound. He has more energy and doing well

Cat Doesn't Like
By FriscoElevatedBowl on Dec 2, 2021
My cat doesn't like this food, so now I have this basically full $42 bag of food that's going to go to waste. I wish there was a way to order samples of the various flavors before committing to such an expensive bag of food (I googled, and it looks like there used to be a starter kit like this but is out of stock everywhere so not sure if supply chain issues or discontinued?)

Thank goodness for a food my cat loves!
By JAT08 on Oct 25, 2021
My cat has had onset kidney issues for 6 years now. He did very well with a different kidney food for quite some time and one day just walked away from it and never went back. He was off of his special kidney food for 6 months and lost 3.5 pounds. not good for a cat that was already slight before loosing that weight. We took him to the vet, had some lab work done and started him on a different kidney food before this one and he wanted nothing to do with it. We were feeling so discouraged and then we tried Royal Canin Renal Support A and he LOVED it! He is slowly putting weight on and he often waits by his dish and meows as it starts to get low on food. His fur is even softer, he's more playful My cat has had onset kidney issues for 6 years now.

Definite win
By raven on Nov 16, 2021
For years our 22 year old cat rarely ate dry food. We always left a bowl of dry food out and then gave her canned food at meal times. The dry food would go untouched for weeks no matter the brand. When she got diagnosed with kidney failure, we switched to this plus wet food from the same brand. She eats it the way she eats treats and seems so happy with it.

He actually LOVES this food!
By Jacqueline on Sep 25, 2021
My older cat Panda was rescued from the shelter about 4 years ago, and had to have a lot of his teeth removed along with other issues so he has a hard time with dry food but he likes it. He now has renal disease and he will not eat the Hills brand Renal food - he is never been one to eat pate canned food when he was well, but I had to mix it with Tuna before he would eat it and he still did not eat it well even with an appetite stimulant. I purchased the Royal Canin Renal Support dry food as the vet suggested that maybe I add some warm water to soften. I also purchased the Royal Canin Renal Support D thin slices in gravy canned food - he absolutely devours this food!!!

Tops by the feline Set!!!
By TalleysMom on Oct 26, 2021
Can't say enough good things about Chewy.com and this cat food. My cat loves it!! Chewy.com was so helpful and ships fast. My cat Talley is getting picky about his kibble but the customer service people were patient and shipped out this quickly when I needed to switch out his diet. Thanks!!!

Great food
By Kdhen on Oct 26, 2021
I appreciate the quick delivery of the prescription cat food I order from Chewy. I also like the smaller bags now available (food stays fresher in small bags). My cat is 18 years old and is beginning to need a little more specialty care and I know I can count on Chewy for this.

By LeRoy on Nov 21, 2021
I've tried every vet recommended prescription food and until now my 3 fur children just ignored it. NOW they look forward to the bowl getting filled again.

Not only does my little old girl like it, but I have to keep my other cats away from it so they don’t eat it all! Definitely kitty approved!!!
